Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael:
Playlist
from March 21, 2014

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Goyim in the AM:
It's nice to hear this in full digital hi-fi, and not just coming in to my heater vents from my older brother's room along with the dreadful smell of his cheap homegrown.

Doug Schulkind:
If I don't hear some Bachman Turner Overdrive pronto, I am going to have a tantrum.

This was the view this morning outside Las Vegas. I and a bevy of fellow copy editors took a hike in the Red Rock Canyon area. One wrong turn but no casualties. t.co...

Oh my, "Clambake." Tom Hanks' version of this on an early Letterman show is oft cited in our home.

I'm with Jeff. I wish I'd been in that session, but I don't use AP style for any work. It's said there were gasps in the audience. It ignited a shitstorm on Twitter (search #ACES2014 for its fallout). But fundamentally, it's just a rule. It can be bent, broken, or ignored as long as you're consistent.

Sid Krofft must have some great weed. Whenever I did bongs, I never got to see talking flutes and dragons holding Mayoral positions, and talking doors named "Lester" friendly trees etc.
